Does anyone else have someone in their life that constantly talks about wanting to help you out (with kids, preparing for new baby, etc.), wants to make things easier for you, etc, but when you actually ask for a favor (which I rarely do) they “forget” to respond to your text or act like it’s an inconvenience? I’m ...

Does anyone else feel the way I do? As a single mom, I work full time, take my son to school. Tuition is 340 every two weeks, I live in a one bedroom apartment and pay $1320 a month take care of all expenses etc and still feel like I’m always having less and less for me. I am very responsible and frugal with my mon...

"Here’s the painful pattern that emerged from my research with men: We ask them to be vulnerable, we beg them to let us in, and we plead with them to tell us when they’re afraid, but the truth is that most women can’t stomach it. In those moments when real vulnerability happens in men, most of us recoil with fear an...

Does anyone else feel really guilty for sitting inside with little one on a day like today? We tried going out for a little walk earlier and it was just too hot so now we’re just sat in the house, I feel so bad for not taking little one out but I just don’t have the energy 🥲

I am feeling so lonely. I'm a SAHM to two kids a 3 1/2 yr old and a 8 month old. My son has been difficult since he came into this world. I love him so much but he has been such a challenge and continues to be. My daughter (8mnths) has been so easy it's been nice. But it's just me pretty much all the time because m...

Lately, I’ve been feeling so lonely, like no one truly understands. I have everything I need, my husband works so hard to provide for us, and I’m grateful but I still can’t shake this sadness, and that makes me feel guilty. As a stay at home mom, my days feel repetitive, like I’m just waiting for my husband to co...

Hear me out! I'm enjoying my newborn and finding out feet over the past couple of weeks has been full of love albeit challenging! But one thing that I wasn't prepared for is how mundane and boring it is, newborns are boring! Lol. Is anyone else finding the same or should I feel ashamed in thinking this?

I'm 3 weeks PP, my Husband returned to work this week but my Mum has been coming over to help out. We're still trying to work out a routine. My little girl won't really settle for a nap unless she's on me. I've felt really teary and homesick for a couple of days. I love my little girl so much but I also feel like I'...

Is anyone else feeling a bit lonely at this time? I have told a few people about the pregnancy but it's still early and there have been a few complications so I don't want to share with anyone else. I keep having to lie about not drinking or not attending things and people are even trying to plan things for later ...

Hi mamas. I'm currently a stay-at-home mum to a 18-month-old boy. I'm really struggling now with loneliness. For some context, shortly before having my LO I moved with my husband to a new city for his work. I have made a couple of mum friends here over the last 18 months, but I can't say I'm very close with anyone h...

Okay how are we making sure we take care of ourselves while also taking care of the family? I have a 19 month old and 7 week old and I don’t even feel like a person anymore. I made sure to get my hair done before the baby came and managed to tear myself away for an hour to get a manicure to try and fight off the ppd...

Does anyone get this like weird feeling of like emptiness, loneliness, and sadness out of the blue and your mind just rushes with so many thoughts like you can’t control it? Well, that’s how I feel right now and I’m not sure if I’m depressed or if it’s just like a hormonal thing of postpartum.

Anyone feeling so snappy? I am usually quite a chill person. I work part time in a high stress job and also have a 2 year old at home so life is very busy. I snapped at someone at work today and am now a-bit embarrassed. Also snapping at my 2 year old and feel so bad- usually pride myself on being a gentle parent,...

After nearly 5 years of marriage, I feel like my husband and I have grown apart. We still love each other but it’s not just the same.

i feel so alone and broken i’m not a single mom but i always feel like everything i do im doing alone w no care or support

My mom is healthy and only an hr drive away but I tend to miss her so much every day. I feel like I have strived to be so independent that I have not connected with her after I had moved out of her house. Now I am realizing I miss that bond that was so strong I have been reaching out and visiting as much as possible...

I don’t know where to start really, but I need more mam/pregnancy friends to understand what I’m going through, I know this is a late post but can someone please message me or interact with me as I’m feeling really low and lonely right now

I just want to disappear….. I don’t want to adult…. I don’t want to be a mom…… I don’t want to be a wife….. I just don’t want to be here anymore… whatever that means…. I’m just done, I’ve had enough…

I work as a CNA, and I hate it. (I never said I don’t do my work well). Thinking of quitting 😭😩, but I need more

I’ll go first . “Love is a free gift that you can give everyday” 🫶🏾
